Question

Riko is ordering a submarine sandwich for 6 people. Each person will eat the same size section of the sandwich. The section size should be at least 4 inches. What is the length of the smallest sandwich Riko should order?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each section length is 4 inches, then that means that each person will need to eat a sandwich section that is at least 4 inches.

There are 6 people, which means that each person will eat 4 inches of a sandwich.

To calculate the length of the sandwich Riko should order, we should mutliply 6 by 4, because there are 6 people and each person will be eating 4 inches of a sandwich.

6 x 4 = 24.

In conclusion, the smallest sandwich Riko should order is a sandwich that is 24 inches long.

(Quick Note: This is also the smallest sandwich Riko could order, because the text states that each person eats at least 4 inches.)
